Killing Hawkman could actually give them a great opportunity, where he no longer travels with the team but they hook up with the local Hawkman incarnation in whatever time they're in. They could even have some episodes where Hawkgirl has to explain everything to a rookie Hawkman.

I like the idea of showing someone who's never seen an 80s ski comedy this episode, South Park's "Asspen" episode and the movie Hot Tub Time Machine, and then asking them to describe the archetypal 80s ski comedy and seeing how close they get.

I assume at some point they'll spin off FXXX and not even bother with the blurring.

I'm hoping for a sequel series called "Heroes: Afterbirth."

Yeah, but dude, spoilers.

That works out okay for Wolverine.

I thought the trailer implied pretty heavily that the movie version of Doomsday is going to be the result of Luthor tinkering around with Zod's corpse. His film origin's probably going to be closer to Bizarro's than to the Doomsday of the comics.

I love that before the opening credits were even over, the episode gave us Tommy getting several lines into a conversation with Miko before he realized that the Japanese girl in red with the incredibly distinctive hairstyle that he was talking to was probably the same Japanese girl in red with the same incredibly…

At least this time it wasn't insulting like the reference during the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover. That one had a joke where the only punchline was claiming Bob couldn't survive without the Simpsons and FG. In this one, the joke was just that Bob's "Short People Got No Reason to Live" themed burger of the day had…

There was a plotline where he gathered a bunch of kids he'd fathered; while separate, they were normal kids, but when they were exposed to him or each other, they turned purple and had basically the same powers he has. At the end of the story they were separated again and returned to normal, but I think they were all…

He has at least two daughters (and three sons - and probably more of each that haven't turned up yet; the guy's a raging id monster with no conscience or self control that can get away with anything). To my knowledge, none of his daughters has impregnated another woman so far.

I'm guessing people would mostly wonder how the Purple Woman got Hope pregnant.

Personally, I have officially reached the point of the holiday season where I am ready for the world to reopen for business once more.

Yeah, I never would have thought that the image of a flying squirrel is embedded in my psyche deeply enough for me to be to look at an image be unable to not see a flying squirrel, but damn if those guys don't just look like squirrels to me. And it's impossible to invoke the strain of cool that this movie is so…

I don't think so, but I'd completely missed the fact that Capaldi was in Children of Men until a friend mentioned it fairly recently (I had no idea who Capaldi was until he started playing the Doctor, so I could have seen him in any number of things and not realized it), so they may have explained it and I missed it…

If it helps, remember that River specifically chose that meeting point because, from her future vantage point, it was a place that had historically been destroyed. It was like going back in time to have a meeting on the Titanic, or the Hindenburg. By trying (but failing) to keep it from crashing, the Doctor actually…

I have no quarrel with people whose opinion on Ewoks has soured over the years or people who have always hated the Ewoks (save for any quarrel they pick when the find out I don't agree with them). It's only the people that claim to have always hated the Ewoks when, in fact, they used to not hate them that deserve…

I concur. I often find myself in the position of Ewok apologist because other people are so vehement about their hatred of them, but when I'm not put in the position of trying to explain to someone that I'm not morally obliged to hate one of my favorite movies just because "cute" and "merchandizing" are concepts that…

You called?

I think the only true villains in that debate are the people who had no problem with - or actually liked - the Ewoks when they first saw the movie but then claimed that they'd always hated them later, either because their opinion legitimately soured on Ewoks or because they discovered that popular internet consensus…
